A Concise Introduction to Nanomagnetism

This book is about the basics of nanomagnetism, i.e., properties of magnetic systems specific to small sizes and/or low dimensions. Features described range from static properties (the existence and understanding of magnetic domains and domain walls) to magnetization reversal in domains or domain-wall motion (from quasistatic to precessional dynamics of magnetization) and spintronics (basic magnetoresistance effects and reverse spin transfer torques, their origin, and consequence on magnetization).
